#029

#029 23rd June 2014- SUMMON, MEREDITH MAWR

**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review**

It really took me a while to the read this book, partly because I'm doing an essay at the same time but partly because I really couldn't wrap my head around the characters or the relationship between them. I'm not saying I didn't like this book because I did I just suspect I won't carry on with the rest in the series.

The main characters Elle and Sam meet when they are at a boarding school far away from their normal life and family. Elle is a fairly self conscious a bit of a nerdy teenager really who can't believe her luck when the hottest guy in school befriends her,what's even worse is that he seems to know where she is every second of the day. Sam is altogether mysterious giving no real information about himself until the very last minute and then leaves us on a massive cliff hanger. I didn't really feel any connection to the couple as I felt the relationship was very one sided and I didn't really understand the reasoning behind the couple being together.

The secondary characters were mostly the other people going to the same School, I felt that there was no real description of them or reason for them being there.

I also felt as though they didn't add a great deal to the storyline or the progression of the relationship between characters. The pacing was good creating a good build up to the main issue in t story and allowing us to become submerged in the story.

The storyline was original and offers a new fantasy/ paranormal species and their enemies which I found highly interesting.

I'm really sorry, not my kind of book 2 stars.
